Doesn't seem to phase them at all ! ( They claim the second coming 'started' in 1914 - bit of a get out clause that one ).<BR/><BR/>Still at least you can argue with them without anyone offering to cut your throat for insulting their religion (which for some reason believes in a god unable to defend himself ).Man in a Shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00990902055642035293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9565399.post-40338614056487073392008-04-03T15:51:00.000+01:002008-04-03T15:51:00.000+01:00What's the point of all this?

Cranmer refers to offensive remarks made by a Catholic contributor, James Mawdsley, to the Credo column in the Times on March 29th. Cranmer tells us:<BR/><BR/>…..what was profoundly saddening was the overt anti-Anglicanism which permeates the piece. Consider the opening paragraph:<BR/><BR/>Anglicanism and Islam were both founded by men who wielded total power. Under Henry VIII, politics swallowed religion. Under Muhammad, religion swallowed politics. Consequently, Anglicans struggle to defend their religious identity against a political agenda and Muslims struggle to defend their political rights against a religious agenda. Roman Catholics believe that the boundary between religion and politics is no less essential than the bridge.<BR/><BR/>It is a purposely provocative juxtaposition of Anglicanism with Islam, and it is a grotesque caricature of the foundations of both religions. <BR/><BR/>If ever anyone dared to compare Roman Catholicism with Islam, there would doubtless be cries of anti-Catholic bigotry ……… but the Church of England is deemed to be fair game. Anti-Anglicanism has not entered the vernacular, but it is, sadly, becoming increasingly pervasive.David Yendleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09171810352548143316noreply@blogger.com
